Hanging Leg Hip Raise
Hanging from a bar, tuck the knees to the chest and keep going, rolling the hips up; the hip roll is what sets it apart from the knee raise.
How to do it
Setup
Dead hang from a bar, hands shoulder-width, legs together and still.
Steps
- Draw the knees up toward the chest.
- Keep rolling the pelvis up so the hips rise toward the bar.
- Lower the hips first, then the legs, back to a still hang.
Common mistakes
Stopping when the thighs are level: the rep finishes with the hips rolled up. Swinging to throw the hips up: pause dead still between reps. Arms bending to help: they stay long; the abs curl the pelvis.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
